Safeguarding Adults and the Law, now in its third edition, sets
this complex area of work within an extensive legal framework and
provides many useful pointers for practitioners and students. It is
now in an A-Z format, enabling quick reference to a wide range of
civil and criminal law, and to legal case law. The book covers
safeguarding duties under the Care Act 2014 and in particular the
making of enquiries by local authorities, safeguarding adults
boards, Department of Health guidance, human rights, regulation of
health and social care providers, barring of carers from working
with vulnerable adults, criminal records certificates, mental
capacity, the High Court's inherent jurisdiction, undue influence,
assault, battery, wilful neglect, ill treatment, self-neglect,
manslaughter, murder, theft, fraud, sexual offences, modern
slavery, domestic violence legislation, data protection and the
sharing of information. The book focuses on how these areas of law,
each with its own set of rules, apply to the practice of
safeguarding adults. It contains numerous legal case summaries to
bring the law to life. Fully updated, it reflects significant
changes to civil and criminal law over the last five years. A
critical introduction analyses serious challenges and issues
inherent in the current culture of health and social care, and the
implications for adult safeguarding. This book will be an essential
resource for all those working in social care, health care and the
police, as well as the many other agencies involved in
safeguarding.
